this anson was airworthy in Australia till at least the mid 80’s possibly later(as vh-baf)
and even masqueraded as the Boeing 247 in the mini series about the 1934 London to Melbourne air race.

ive seen to much of the impact,people died there.

got to hate one of the comments on the link that bradburger put up.
“the plane and pilot were oldest participants in the reno air races”
the plane had been rebuilt only recently and jimmy’s medicals were above reproach according to rara,an incredibly sad day

this pic shows the tail wheel definitely out just before he hit

there is another photo out there you can clearly see the crowd in front of the plane.
the odd thing with the pic of it vertical to me seems that it is so clear and vertical,all the other stills show it trying to pull out.
blue skies jimmy leeward and the fans on the ground and they’re family and friends.

i was there in july,and overall i was impressed(but then i came all the way from oz) the lighting want great but that seems to be the way with museum’s at the moment(although the black hole that is the b,of,b hangar is a disgrace) and from what i could see a few of then aircraft were in need of some work(broken landing light cover on the beaufighter for instance)and i felt the Halifax was a perfect in showing that not every one made it home.

the one that flew out(a68-1) is owned by Wiley sanders(as far as i know no relation to the sanders that race seafuries)it was flown at reno a few times and is in a camouflage scheme with a kangaroo mural on one of the main gear doors. the others seem to have disappeared.

damn i’m going to have to get a bulk order on 1/72 tamiya mustang’s:eek:
and then work out how to make my own decals.
this could take awhile(especially as i’m doing it in it’s final scheme in 1/48th first):D

thanks debbie
my dad and i had a ball,down here we only have 2 spits flying and a couple of others under restoration(the biggest single type was 7 mustangs in one place till i got up there).
dont take it for granted as most of us down here are very jealous 😉
but on the plus side we do have the only flying hudson and some people take that for granted 😮
if i get back i hope to see more air museums as i only got to hendon and you have so much history,even my wife had a ball(although she wasnt at legends :dev2:)

thanks guys,it was a brilliant airshow i really do hope to get back at sometime.
now for Sundays shots
now to start a little different,the tsr2,for a guy from downunder this was a treat to see

the other side of snafu,just love this beast.

one of the rapaide’s doing rides

the northern line up

only one hurricane?i was a little dissapointed but then i’d never even seen a static one.

the skyraider’s

never saw one of these till i got over there,your very lucky to have one

the horsemen were brilliant

what can i say….

lovely

cant have too many pics of this

who knew that a dc3 display could be this spectacular

probably the best shot of the joke that i got(too bloody quick)

and last probably the saddest shot i took all weekend 🙁

if i get the chance i’ll be back for sure loved the event

Because I was at Yeovilton:D seeing the Vulcan and Sea Vixen in formation was enough for me:D.
BTW nice display from the An-2, first time I have seen the display despite seeing it at Popham every flyin. Which is where I will be tomorrow as I need a rest!

Not the best weather but it’s there.

damn it and i was at legends looking at a p38 and meeting mark12 and co 😀
my dad wants more pics of the vulcan and seavixen :diablo:
